Discovery of Novel Amphipathic Ligands for the Dynorphin Binding Site on the Bradykinin Receptor
This invention is a dynorphin analog designed to interact with a receptor that is partly responsible for pain sensations. Dynorphin analog targets the bradykinin receptors instead of the f NMDA receptors. The ligands are novel in the deletion of an arginine residue in position 7 which has been recognized as an essential residue for opioid and non-opioid...
